The Pavement Parking Bill would make it illegal to park on pavements and verges in England outside London and in Wales. It creates a new offence and gives local authorities and the police powers to enforce it, with the aim of keeping pavements clear and safer for pedestrians.
The bill is currently at the 2nd Reading in the House of Lords. If it passes this stage, it will move to committee stage for detailed examination and then proceed through the usual Lords and Commons stages.
